Water is a source for life, not just for human being water is also important for animals and plants. Without water sources no farming, agriculture and no life could exists.

Iraq faces among the worst case scenario in water supply and according to “Just Foreign Policy”, about 1,455,590 Iraqi innocent civilians deaths due to US invasion in Iraq since 2003. This is not a small number since more than a million innocent Iraqi civilian deaths within nine years.

Just Foreign Policy is an independent and non-partisan membership organization dedicated to reforming U.S. foreign policy by mobilizing and organizing the broad majority of Americans who want a foreign policy based on diplomacy, law and cooperation.

The Iraq Water Project or IWP is a project initiated by Veterans for Peace, Inc. (VFP). VFP is the United States national veterans Peace & Justice organization based in St. Louis, Missouri. “Veterans for Peace” was founded in 1985 where the members are among military veterans since Spanish Civil War (1936-39) until the recent conflicts which have been created by the US government and its allies. Veterans for Peace is an official Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) represented at the UN and their mission is to put end of war.

Sadly but true the US, its allies and the United Nations are responsible to destruction of Iraq water supply. The Progressive a monthly magazine since 1909 wrote an article explaining about the situation with title, The Secret Behind the Sanctions: How the U.S. Intentionally Destroyed Iraq’s Water Supply. This article is written by Professor Thomas J. Nagy from Department of Management Science, George Washington University. A similar article is evaluated and rewritten in Project Sensored with title, U.S. Intentionally Destroyed Iraq’s Water System.

“What we are doing is destroying an entire society. It is as simple and terrifying as that.” – Denis Halliday (former UN coordinator of the Oil for Food Program and Nobel Peace Prize nominee)
